I am new to .NET platform. From time to time, I had problems with Visual Studio and I decided to use Rider. It encouraged me again (I have been using JetBrains products for 2 years). But I can not find the NuGet console (which is so called in Visual Studio).

Where is it?

    NuGet console in VS is based on PowerShell and Rider doesn't support it right now. It will be implemented in future versions (probably after official release). – AndreyAkinshin Mar 17 '17 at 19:40

  • I'm new to the .NET world. From what I can tell Entity Framework is a library to make interaction with data stores easier. What does this have to do with an IDE supporting a package manager's shell? Am I missing something? – Blieque Jun 26 '18 at 11:04

    @Blieque Yes. You must use package-manager console or GUI written for that. – TuralAsgar Jun 28 '18 at 16:22

It is available since Rider 2018.1.
Please see JetBrains' blog post about installation: https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2018/04/06/entity-framework-support-rider-2018-1/

P.S. tested on Rider 2020.2.1.

    its not supported in 2020.2. I created a asp.net core solution and installed ef. Tools/Entity Framework does not exist. – hce Aug 31 '20 at 13:10
  • @hce I'm using Rider 2020.2.1 and it's available. Did you try the right-clicking the project in the Explorer view? Please see my edited answer with an image. – Noam Gal Sep 01 '20 at 09:38
  • @Noam_Gal I get the confusion: I'am using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore v3.1.7. You are using Microsoft.EntityFramework. Rider is not supporting the core version of EntityFramework. – hce Sep 01 '20 at 14:01
  • @hce you are right. for Core there's no such solution (yet), only this article: https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2017/08/09/running-entity-framework-core-commands-rider/ – Noam Gal Sep 01 '20 at 18:56
  • If you did not found the option after right-clicking, first you must install the `EntityFramework` package and then you will see all the options for Entity Framework – NM Naufaldo May 07 '21 at 11:13

You Can use PowerShell on Windows "Where Your DbContext is" Like this:

dotnet ef

dotnet ef migrations add [Name]

If you need to run entity framework commands such as

dotnet ef migrations add "initialSetup"

Then go to your terminal Alt+f12 or double-shift and type “terminal”. Then run:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

And then (making sure you're in your project directory):

dotnet ef migrations add "initialSetup"

Although Rider has now added the UI for migration, unfortunately, if you use the latest dotnet feature the UI doesn't work.

For example, I created the project without Startup class file, the UI won't let me continue:

enter image description here

enter image description here

But I tried these commands which works:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

# You can type the DbContext manually now!
dotnet ef migrations add 'initial' --project src/IdentityServer/IdentityServer.csproj --context PersistedGrantDbContext

enter image description here

Then I execute:

dotnet ef database update --project src/IdentityServer/IdentityServer.csproj --context ConfigurationDbContext

Now the database updated with all the tables there: enter image description here

They haven't implemented the Package manager console yet. So you will have to use Visual studio for that

You can use terminal toolwindow. Or NuGet manager (GUI)...
